Because of her parents' Canadian nationality, Morgan retained dual-citizenship
in the United States and Canada when she and her family moved to Los Angeles,
California soon after her birth. This was once referred to on X-Play when Adam
asked if she was Canadian, and she said only when it benefits her. As an infant
and small child, Webb appeared in advertisements for Gerber baby food, Kenner
Toys, and most famously, an ad for McDonald's, where she recited the ingredients
of the Big Mac to a game of Pat-a-cake. Ironically, Webb's parents refused to
let her watch television as a child, so she made up for lost hours of television
time by playing video games (according to X-Play's page on G4's website). She
began with an Atari, primarily the game Combat, but as technology progressed,
The Legend of Zelda and Phantasy Star became two of her favorite games.
Webb graduated from Walter Reed Middle School in 1993 and graduated from North
Hollywood High School in 1996 with Highly Gifted Magnet honors.
After graduating high school, she left home to attend UC Berkeley, where she
earned a bachelor's degree in 2000 in rhetoric and a minor in Italian.
Career
Webb developed computer skills in her free time at Berkeley, and after
graduating from college, worked for a dot-com company as a website
administrator. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst of
2000, her friend Catherine Schwartz pulled her in at TechTV in 2001 and Morgan
became employed as the associate producer and web researcher for The Screen
Savers. Thanks to her self-taught knowledge of computers and technology, in
addition to a camera-friendly appearance, she was quickly promoted to an
on-screen member of the program where she presented daily in-depth segments
dealing with Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, and on select
occasions hosted The Screen Savers herself. Throughout 2002 and 2003, she
regularly co-hosted Call For Help with Chris Pirillo. In April 2003, Webb left
The Screen Savers to co-host X-Play with Adam Sessler.
In April 2004, Webb, along with fellow TechTV personalities Sarah Lane, Laura
Swisher, Catherine Schwartz and Melanie Kim, was included in the "TechTV's
Sexiest Techie" poll sponsored by Playboy magazine. TechTV viewers could vote
for their favorite girl via the Playboy website, and the winner of the poll
would be offered a nude photo spread in a future issue of Playboy. Webb won the
poll but, despite being "very flattered" by the photo shoot offer, she
immediately refused, citing her own personal reasons and her parents' objection
to the idea.
Webb is one of only six TechTV personalities, including Adam Sessler, Sarah
Lane, Chi-Lan Lieu, Kevin Rose, and Brendan Moran, to survive the massive
layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV. However, since G4's
change of format, only Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb remain on the network.
Throughout 2004, Webb was featured in numerous issues of print publications FHM
and Maxim:
She was spotlighted in the July 2004 issue of Maxim.
She had a five-page feature article in the November 2004 issue of FHM.
She was rated 73rd in FHM's one-hundred sexiest women in America for 2005, and
62nd in 2006.
She was voted "Hottest Woman of the Year" in RTD's annual Top 10 countdown.
She was featured in the Fall 2006 Edition of Colleges.com U Magazine
In August 2005, Webb became a contributing game columnist for FHM, alongside her
regular hosting duties on X-Play. Her monthly column is called "Tips From The
Gaming Goddess". Readers are encouraged to email Morgan their video game-related
inquiries, and she answers one question each month.
Webb has appeared in the music video Strange New Element from the band Low
Water. She makes her appearance near the end of the video alongside other fellow
TechTV personalities, including Catherine Schwartz, Sarah Lane, Laura Swisher,
Chi-Lan Lieu, and Sumi Das. In addition to appearing in Low Water's music video,
Morgan is featured in the artwork of the band's album, Hard Words In A
Speakeasy. Webb provided her own vocals for "X-Play: The Musical", which aired
February 5, 2007.
